use WASD to control character, mouse aim and click to shoot snowballs
You should 'tune' the snowballs to be more effective against specific snowman.

Done in 6 hours or so in Unity 4.6 and Paint.NET.
Really wanted to finish some LD game again.
Update: fixed replay and quit option (top right corner now)

Decent job on the graphics. Simple but effective.

I love this game!!! For the quality of this, I don't believe the 6 hour time frame! Really good job!

It took a while before I got the "tuning", but it is a very neat game! Nice gameplay and the movement and shooting is decent enough!

Cool stuff. I seem to have bad timing, because every time I change colour, the enemies happen to change to the opposite colour. xD

The mechanic is nice, I had a bit of trouble with the hitboxes and friction on the walls - made it easy to get stuck unintentionally, but I guess that also improved the challenge in a way.

Not bad. Keep working on it

-No sound :(
-Kinda boring (lack of progression) :(
-Nice color mechanic :)

Graphics are good. Had to play for a moment before I got the Gameplay. Sometimes you get stuck in the wall. Quite hard too, because you got no real health.

Took me a bit to figure out how to "tune" the snowballs but overall a successful little game for only... SIX HOURS?!?! You crazy man!

The graphics are neat. I found it hard to get a hold of the "tuning" mechanism, and died a lot.

This is actually pretty cool! I think there's a lot of unexplored terrain with this tuning mechanic. Nice job for a mere 6 hours!

For the timeframe this is very well done. You should be proud of it - it was quite enjoyable.

Took me a bit of time to figure out what I needed to do. I had a bunch of blue snowman after me and only white snow balls. Good job for 6 hours. I would have loved to seen this with 48 hours of time put into it. :)

I liked the snowball tuning. I didn't really expect it at first, but it was pretty fun trying dodge blue snowmen as I dashed for a blue spot on the map.

Simple game, but in the best way possible. Very enjoyable mechanics! You should be proud of this for doing it in 6 hours. Took me about two tries to understand what was happening but it was intuitive enough that no tutorial was needed. (I didn't read the instructions because I'm a noob :) )

Hi there. Like the idea, but died once, couldn't find a way to restart, so reloaded. The snowmen seem a bit lethal and OP. Shame no sounds in game. Be good to have more generous pro-player balance.
